Dusting Off the Ole Blog

Sorry for the very long and unintentional blog break. The bad news is that I haven't been crafting at all until just a couple of days ago. The good news is that I am now completely caught up on my movies! because that is all I have been doing. I am back to my sewing space though... see.

Recently I bought an ugly cork bulletin board for my wall space since I had just been tacking things to my wall. And since I can't do plain, boring, and ugly, I made it me.

I had to use black model paint for the frame since acrylic wouldn't stick and there was no way I was going to sand. I then mod podged on the hilco mushroom fabric (you can get some here) and put some "every thing looks better with pom pom trim" on it. And I love it! Yesterday I decided to finally join in on the Farmers Wife Quilt Along.

Very late, but I am having a lot of fun with these little block. Here is what I've made so far.

She's back!Cute bulletin board, I expect no less...Oh you did NOT join the FWQA! Another quilter down! I have been strongly resisting cause Jess WILL in fact kill me if I start another project. Yours will be cute and make me wish I had but I will not. I mean it.

Because of the girls from Simplify, lovely litle handmades and a little sweetnes and now you, I want to do the farmers wife quilt along!!! You three have the cutest colors and prints. Most of the others are too old lady for me or too I-just-used-whatever-I-had-in-my-stash-regardless-of-whether-it-looked-ok blocks. I'm not trying to be mean. It's just a personal thing and your blocks appeal to me!! Thank you for posting this!!!
